BREAKlNG UP.
Master Workman Powderly's Reply
to- Certain Newspaper Assertions

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.!-Specal Tele-
gram to the BEE. IT. V. Powderly will
print the following in the journal of United
Labor to be issued tomorrow in reference to
the assertions in number of newspapers
that the organization of the Knights of Labor
was breaking up:
We are breaking up rs the powman breaks
up the soil for the sowing of new seed; we
are breaking up old traditions; we are break
ing up the idea that money makes the man
and not moral worth; we are breaking up the
idea that might makes right; We are breaking
up the idea that legislation is alone for the
rich; we are breaking up the idea that the
congress of the United States must
be run by millionaires for the
benefit OF millionaires; we are breaking up
acres of untitled land while other men starve
for the want of one acre: we are breaking up
the practice OF putting the labor OF criminals
into competition with honest labor and starv-
ing 1t to death; we are breaking up the prac-
tice of importing ignorances bred OF mon
archv and dynamite in order to dcpreciate
Intelligent skilled labor; we are breaking up
the idea of employing little children in facto
rieS, thus breeding race defOrmed igno-
rant and protligate; we are breaking up the
idea that man who works with his hands
has need neither of education nor of civil
izing rehnements; we are breaking up the
idea that the accident of sexes puts
one-half of the human race beyond the pale
of constitutional rights; we are breaking up
the practice of paying women One-third the
wages paid man simply because she is a
woman; we are breaking up the idea that q
man may debauch an infant girl and shield
himself from the penalty behind a law he
| himself has made: we are breaking up igno-
rance, intemperance, crime and oppression
OF whatever character and wherever found.
Yes, the Knights of Labor are breaking up
| and they will continue their appointed work
| of breaking up until universal rights shall
prevail; and while they may not bring in
| the millennium, they will do their part in
| the evolution of moral forces that are work.

Tekamah's Texas Fever.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.--Dr. F. l.. Bill
lings returned from Tekamah tonight and
says that the disease among the cattle there
is surely Texas fever, but that when the ma
tive cattle which nave been thus far exposed
to the infection have died Off, 1t will end.
With those that have already died the num-
Der will be about 200. This outbreak con-
tradicts the assertions about this disease and
frost killing it, as subsequent to the arrival
nearly to zero twice. Again these cattle
were not pure Texans but half-breedG, and
it is said they are as liable to the disease 10
northern cattle. but not one has been sick.
they came from, so that how they could have
got the disease is an open question. No
natives have been effected from natives,
which corresponds to previous experiences.
DR.. Billings will make an experimental
study of the disease If 1t is possible to OBJ
tain some of the diseased natives.

Rosenfeld's Creditors Meet.

CHICAGO, July 15.-At a meeting of tie
creditors of Maurice ROsenfeld Il Co., to-day,
Mr.. Gillett, who had examined the books,
said that the original capital of the srls-
pended firm was $4,000, but after paying
5000 for their New York stock exchange
membership they only had Sl6 900 left to use
in their business. The Liabilities are esti-
mated at $780, 1000, and the c0lectable assets
were estimated to pay 10 per cent. Rosen-
fields relatives would put up Is per cent and
enable the payment of 25 cents on settlement,
A large number of members we're willing to
accept this but six or seven stock houses re-
fused, as they had already secured enough
property of ROsenfelds to net them 25 per
cent. A committee was appointed to confer
with and induce them to settle at 25 cents.
Should they refuse 1t was proposed to offer
them 40 cents and try to get the other 10 per
cent from relatives.

Attempted Assassinntions in Russia
On Account of Religious Beliefs.
LONDON, July l5.-Advices from st. Peters
burg say that on July 10 band of religious
fanatics attempted to assassinate the wife of
the Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovitch,
son of the Grand Duke Constantine uncle of
the czar. The attempt was made at Paulavsk
palace. All the fanatics were arrested. The
cause given was that the grand duchess, who
is Lutheran, refused to modify the terms
of her marriage covenant and become a
member of the Greek church. 1t Is thought
the assassins mistook her for the wife of the
Grand Duke vladimir, brother of the czar,
and who has been suspected of making prose-
lytes to this protestant faith. 1t is stated that
previous to this attempt the fanatics also
tried to kill Grand Duchess Elizabeth, wife
of the Grand Duke Sergius. She is also a
protestant, being a daughter of the Grand
Duke Louis ~, of Hesse.

More Trouble For Cattle Kings.
CHICAGO, July ia suit for $780, 600 was
begun in the United States court this morn
ing by the Swan Land and Cattle company,
limited, of Edinburgh through their solic-
itors, Messrs. Swift and Campbell, against
Alexander ii. Swan, OF Cheyenne; Charles
f. Anthony, of Peoria; Charles A. Wilson,
of Chatsworth, ILL.,, and the following named
persons in Chicago: Joseph Frank, Morris
Rosenbaum, Godfrey Snydacker. Louis X,
Frank, Eleroy s. Spinney, Bertha
Snydacker, Emanuel Mande. Isaac Lowen-
berg, Patrick Long, Eugene Arnstein and
Samuel Marks In 1882 the Swan Il Frank
Live Stock company, the National Cattle
company, and the Swan, Frank II
Anthony Cattle company, composed of
the above named parties were grazing cattle
over ranges in Wyoming Territory. These
corporations Joined with James Wilson OF
Edinburgh and sold out for 81, 553, ,S25 to the
Swan Land and Cattle company, which
Wilson had worked up among Scottish cap
italistS, among them being Lord Douglas
Gordon and Colin j. Mckenzie. The COM.
plant alleges that the purchasers relied upon
the false representation of Alexander IL.
Swan upon untried inventories Of cattle.
and upon reports of one Thomas Lawas0n,
an agent in pay of the selling companies.
Complainant says that instead of 50, l67 head
Of cattle rs represented, there were no more
than 10000, and that in many other respects
were the inventories which were shown
them untrue. In making the sale the com.
plant says that Swan represented the mum.
Der of calves from the herd would equal
2S8, while in fact they were only 1900 The
complainants ask SSOO,OOO, which they say
would only about cover the loss they sus-
tanned.
The suit brought to-day is n sequel to tho
failure of Swan Bros, of Cheyenne, q few
weeks ago. 1t was then announced that the
Swan Land and Cattle company would be in
no way affected, but it is known that im-
mediately after the Swan Bros. failure some
of the Scotch directors of the cattle company
hurried to this country, and 1t Is supposed
that the suit brought to-day is the result Of
their Investigations.

ALToNA, Ia, july l5.-Special Telegram
to the BEE. The harvest In this neighbor-
hood is all ready to cut, and machines are
standing idle for want of binding twine, and
there is none to be had. Parties telephOned
to Des Moines this morning for twine, but

that have been laid aside are out of repair, so
that the harvest would go to waste before
they could get them in running order. The
merchants now have telegraphed to Chicago

Der of cars laden with oil. The engine

to death. Mrs. Zealand was got out badly
